除了該項目，當今時代，美國大多數普通民眾一般通過何種渠道來了解中國？
可能最常見的方式就是走進商店，當他們查看他們要買的東西時，發現它是“中國製造”。但是我想，有必要把美國政府和美國民眾區分來看，美國國家安全委員會與聯邦政府的政策，和美國民眾的想法，是有差別的。我想大部分政府以外的美國民眾聽説過發生在中國一些大事，或者聽説過中國文化的某些方面。但是同時，有趣的是，美國民眾對中國人並沒有特別的種族敵視，和對非洲裔、西班牙裔美國人非常不同。所以多種因素共同作用形成了一個有趣的局面，如果你和一個典型美國人談論中國，他們並不會把敵意和中國聯繫起來，但是當你和美國政府打交道，你會看到它對於中國的敵視，這就引起了很多問題。

Well, probably the most common way they learn about China is they go into a store and they look at something they are gonna buy, and it’s made in China. But I think the most people learn outside of Washington, and one always has to distinguish what’s going on in national security and Washington policy, and what’s going on among the American people. I think they hear about in terms of occasional crises, or they hear about aspects of the Chinese culture. But I think at the same time, there is not, interestingly enough, a particular racial animosity in the US towards Chinese Americans, it’s very different situation with African Americans and Hispanics. So you have an interesting constellation of factors here, where there is not, in enough itself, if you were to talk to a typical American, whatever that is, about China hostility, but when you get into political issues, then you start getting certain kinds of responses, and those cause more problems.
